Chapter 65: Succession
Spring goes to autumn, on the Mughal Plateau, it has been cold and summer for more than ten years, and in the Lingxiao Mountains deep in the Mughal Plateau, there is a large array of mountain protection, like a paradise, there is no change of four seasons, and the flowers are blooming and the grass is green throughout the year.
Although there is no time in the mountains, it is only compared to those high-ranking monks. For low-level monks, more than ten years of time changes are still enough to undergo many great changes.
At the foot of the mountain, the Fengyuan Kingdom established by King Nagesar has completely consolidated its power after more than ten years of southern and northern wars. He built a vast empire that stretched 30,000 li from east to west and 13,000 from north to south.
But compared to the vast Mughal Plateau, this huge Fengyuan Empire is only a corner of the land.
At the beginning of the founding of the Fengyuan Empire, King Nagesar went to Tenggra Sacred Mountain to worship the heavens, and was favored by the divine envoys, and was awarded three artifacts and gifted royal power, which gave him enough prestige to unify the tribes and finally establish this huge empire.
Therefore, over the years, King Gesar has continued to worship and enshrine the Tenggla Sacred Mountain, which has been renamed Lingxiao Mountain by the immortals.
Strange to say, the Lingxiao Mountains are usually foggy all year round, and anyone who enters them will lose their way and eventually return to their original place for no reason. And only every time the envoy sent by King Gesar of the Fengyuan Empire worships the Zen, the fog of the mountain will disperse a passage, revealing the outermost peak.
The ceremony of enshrinement takes place on this peak, which is also known as Chaotian Peak.
This was, of course, the result of the deliberate control of the Sword Sect cultivators in Ling Xiao Mountain.
Li Hui retreated, and all the affairs in the sect were handled by the elder Liu Piaoxu. Liu Piaoxu has worked hard over the years, going to the territory of the Fengyuan Empire to find disciples who are suitable for cultivating the truth with spiritual roots, and internally, he has taken care of it as a whole, urging those disciples to cultivate diligently. So although Li Hui has been absent all these years, the Sword Sect has also been thriving.
Since the Fengyuan Empire respected the Lingxiao Mountain Sword Sect, there was also a wave of searching for immortals within the empire, and many hot-blooded young people with dreams traveled thousands of miles to the foot of Lingxiao Mountain in the hope of finding immortal fate.
And most of these people could only wander outside the mountain and return disappointed, and a small number of disciples were incorporated into the Sword Sect and became disciples of the Sword Sect.
In addition to these admiring disciples, even among the disciples of the royal family of the Fengyuan Empire, there was also one who worshiped in the Jinyan Peak line of the Sword Sect.
Over the years, the cultivation of the disciples of the Sword Sect has also broken through one after another, and now it has sixteen foundation building monks and more than 100 Qi refining stage disciples.
A sect that has just been established for more than ten years can have such an atmosphere, which is enough to make people proud.
In the second year of Li Hui's sword training in Xianfu, Lin Yang returned from traveling. This trip took several years and covered almost the entire Mughal Plateau, not to mention the hardships.
After returning, Lin Yang lost the childishness of a teenager, and became a little more mature and resolute.
After returning to the sect, Lin Yang learned the news that Li Hui had successfully married a baby, and at that time, he happened to have never come over from his travels, so he naturally felt a little regretful in his heart.
Next, Lin Yang waited on Ling Xiao Peak and waited for Li Hui to come out.
Ling Xiaofeng is in charge, and there is still only one disciple of Lin Yang. As the only personal disciple of the Sword Sect Master and the senior brother among the second-generation disciples, Lin Yang's status was second only to that of the five elders.
Occasionally, disciples on other mountain peaks came to the Lingxiao Peak Sword Immortal Palace to select the magic powers, and Lin Yang would occasionally give some advice. It's just that none of the third-generation disciples can be favored by Lin Yang and be accepted into the door.
There were also second-generation disciples on other mountain peaks who questioned the strength of this disciple who lived on Ling Xiao Peak. Frankly speaking, for these Sword Sect disciples, that sect master is just a legendary figure, and they haven't seen this sect master since the day they entered the sect, and now the sect master's disciples are also living in seclusion. This will inevitably make these arrogant second-generation disciples feel a little puzzled.
After several second-generation disciples from other peak systems challenged Ling Xiao Peak and were easily defeated by Lin Yang, no one dared to underestimate this thin head of the lineage.
Later, these second-generation disciples who didn't know the height of the sky were all reprimanded by their respective masters, that is, the five Jindan elders of the Sword Sect, and they each retreated and thought about it.
These disciples also learned some secrets about the lineage of the head of Ling Xiaofeng from their respective masters. Knowing that Senior Brother Lin's master, that is, the current head of the Sword Sect, turned out to be an anti-heaven existence who could fight against the Yuanying Monk in the Jindan Period, and now he has advanced to the Yuanying Monk, and in addition, in the secret place of the Sword Immortal Palace, there is also a puppet clone of the Sect Master's Yuanying Stage!
The second-generation disciples who learned these news became more and more in awe of the head of Ling Xiaofeng, who now had only one Lin Yang living on the surface.
What no one knew was that as early as half a year ago, the blood demon clone guarding the Sword Immortal Palace had quietly left the Sword Immortal Palace and came to an inconspicuous cave at the top of Lingxiao Peak, and did not come out again after entering.
Before Li Hui reached the Yuan Infant Stage in retreat, he passed on the "Three Articles of Sword Dao" and a body refining technique "The Heavens and Stars Jue" to Lin Yang, and also left Lin Yang a large number of Taoist treasures.
On the way to practice, the master introduces the door, and the practice is personal. It is important to have someone to give advice, but what is more important is your own efforts.
After Lin Yang returned to the mountain, he did not slack off in the slightest, and spent all day in penance.
In the rare leisure time when he occasionally finished his cultivation, Lin Yang liked to sit alone on the mountain path of Lingxiao Peak in a daze.
"My Sword Sect has been passed on to you, it is the third generation, and there are no cumbersome rules in this sect, just act without violating your heart, but this sect law cannot be passed on lightly, treacherous people cannot be passed on, vain people cannot be passed on, the mind is not strong, and the deception of the teacher and the ancestors cannot be passed on, can you remember?"
Lin Yang sat on the mountain road, and his mind recalled the voice of his master again.
More than ten years ago, it was here that Li Hui passed on the Taoism to Lin Yang, and then began to retreat to impact the Yuan Infant Period. The master and apprentice parted, but I didn't expect it to be more than ten years.
"If I knew this, I should have come back early, maybe I would have been able to see Shizun, but now I don't know when Shizun will be able to get out. Lin Yang sighed and looked at the distant mountains intently.
"In vain!"
There seemed to be someone calling behind him.
Lin Yang's shoulders trembled violently, and then he smiled dumbly: "It must be that I miss Shizun so much that I actually heard his voice." ”
"Apprentice, I haven't come here to see the teacher. ”
A gentle voice came faintly behind him.
Lin Yang turned his head suddenly, and two figures on the mountain road stood quietly, one was dressed in a black robe with a warm smile, while the other was dressed in silver armor, with silver hair and a cold face.
Lin Yang only felt that his throat was dry, he opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound, and he stayed in place for a while.
The black-clothed young man just smiled, and walked over with the silver-haired young man and came to Lin Yang's side.
"Well, yes, I already have the cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, and the cultivation of the body is almost the same realm, it seems that there should be no slack over the years, but I don't know how the sword has been practiced. Li Hui's divine sense swept casually, and he accurately said Lin Yang's cultivation realm at this time.
"Disciple...... Disciple to meet the master!" Lin Yang only reacted at this time, but he bowed deeply.
As soon as Li Hui's sleeves flicked, Lin Yang was held up by a soft but irresistible force: "Get up, my master is incompetent, I haven't been able to take care of you all these years, but from now on, I can often guide your cultivation." ”
Lin Yang's heart was hot: "The disciple must live up to the expectations of the master." ”
Li Hui showed a mysterious smile on his face, patted Lin Yang's shoulder and said, "Order the elders of all peaks to come to the Sword Immortal Palace to discuss matters. ”
"Disciple obeys!"
Lin Yang didn't ask why, so he rose up into the sky with his sword and went to the peaks to send a message.
"Long Yun, do you think this kid can be worthy of the heavy responsibility of the head of a sect?" Seeing Lin Yang disappear into the air, Li Hui asked the silver-haired young man beside him.
"He's a lot like you. Long Yun replied with a deep groan.
Li Hui was stunned, then laughed, and after laughing, he said: "This time, you and I are going to leave here to go outside, I don't know what kind of danger I will encounter when I go out this time, and I don't know when I will be able to return here. ”
Long Yun nodded noncommittally.
"Let's go, let's go to the Sword Immortal Palace first and wait for the others. ”
Then two rays of light disappeared into the air.
There was a flash of magic weapon on Ling Xiao Peak, and a figure fell in front of the Sword Immortal Palace, it was the Five Peak Elders who had received Lin Yang's notice and rushed here to gather.
Several people suddenly received Lin Yang's order, saying that the sect master had gone out to convene everyone's deliberations, but they were shocked but did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately rushed over.
After everyone arrived, under Lin Yang's guidance, they entered the main hall of the Sword Immortal Palace together.
Li Hui sat in the main hall, and Long Yun was not far from him.
When everyone saw that it was really Li Hui who came out, they couldn't help but show joy and came up to salute together.
"Elders are exempt, I have left the affairs of the sect all these years, relying on the strength of your elders, I should thank you elders. Saying that, Li Hui stood up from his seat and saluted the elders below with his fists.
Then Li Hui sat back again, but he said something that shocked everyone: "The first thing I want to do when I gather everyone today is to announce that today I will pass on the position of sect master to my disciple Lin Yang, and I hope you will support me more." ”
Passing on the position of sect master to Lin Yang, everyone had expected it, but they didn't expect it to be so fast, but the next words completely made everyone feel confused.
"After today, I will leave the sect and travel the world, looking for opportunities, I may not return to the sect in the short term, and the things in the sect still have to work for you. ”
